Well after a year of conceptualizing this blog and thinking of posting it, I am finally jumping in. So, hello world [i.e. 2-3 friends I convinced/begged to read this rubbish]! I originally wanted to create a recipe/cooking blog (ya know the ones with all the gorgeous step-by-step pictures and restaurant-worthy platings every night for dinner?), hence the title of this blog. But after this 1st year of marriage (and many false smoke alarms), I've had to resign myself to the idea that I am in fact no Giada De Laurentiis (I really tried, I swear!) and am instead a Sandra Lee of Semi-Homemade/Sarah Jessica Parker[shoe-obsessed]/Kim Kardashian[make-up obsessed]/plain-'ole-girl-trying-to-stay-fit-and-fashionable-and-in-the-black! This will now be a place for me to post anything and everything I want relating to anything and everything. :)

I am a rookie in the kitchen, and a new housewife as well. Now that the wedding is over, it's time to learn how to cook and shop on a budget! My husband is a BIG eater, and it is a challenge making dinner to please both of us. I want to be good in the kitchen and still look good in a bikini. I also LOVE to shop, but saving for cars, a house, a REAL grown-up life, well... it gets a little tricky. Here I blog my attempts!
